Instructions

1. Prep the Coating

Crush Doritos into fine crumbs using a food processor or ziplock + rolling pin.

In one shallow dish: mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

In another dish: whisk eggs with milk.

Pour crushed Doritos into a third dish.

2. Coat the Cheese

Dredge each cheese stick in the flour mixture.

Dip in egg wash, then coat in crushed Doritos.

For extra crunch, repeat egg wash and Doritos coating.

3. Freeze to Prevent Melting

Place coated cheese sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for 30–45 minutes.

4. Fry Until Crispy & Golden

Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).

Fry 2–3 sticks at a time for 30–45 seconds until golden brown.

Drain on paper towels.

5. Serve & Enjoy!

Serve hot with ranch, marinara, or queso dip.

Bite into cheesy, crunchy heaven!

Notes

Freeze before frying to keep the cheese from leaking.
Use Flamin’ Hot Doritos for an extra kick.
Great with a variety of dips—try sriracha mayo for spicy lovers!
